week of accidents the first we heard of,
happening to our young and energetic
friend, Richard Reeder, of Laurel Grove
neighborhood, agent for the Mccormick
machines. Thursday last, just as Mr..
Reeder was starting from Fenwick's Hotel,
his horse became much frightened and
started up the street on brisk run, with
heels often elevated around and about Mr..
Reeder's head. With all the bravery and
energy displayed, he could not quiet his
horse nor bring him down to reason, and
after some wild and furious efforts the ami
NAL managed to divide the buggy, leaving
Mr. Reeder in one part and taking the other
with him until he collided with a fence
which put stop TO his career. am glad
to hear that neither occupant, horse nor
vehicle sustained serious injury.
The second accident happened, Friday
last, 10 our much esteemed friend, Stephen
Jones, one Of the Hon. Judges of our Or
phans' Court. Soon after the Judge started
from Fenwick's Hotel, his horses-T under
stand he was driving pair of colts-be-
came frightened and ran of, throwing Mr.
Jones out. The boy escaped unframed. l
do not know how serious Mr.. Jones's in
juries are, but understand that they were
of such nature that he could not be
be moved home until the next day. l ten
der my sympathy TO Mr. Jones and hope
he may soon recover from the effects of his
fall.
The third accident We have to chronicle
is, that on the same day FRIDAY, of last
week. as Mr. q. W. L. Buckler was return
ing home from Leonardtown, direct from
FenwIck's Hotel, just as he reached the
little bluff of pines opposite Capt Daw-
sons farm and about one-half mile from
Mr.. Fossett's blacksmith shop and while
going along in q brisk trot, one of the ting
clips became detached, causing the buggy
to wheel around suddenly, breaking the
other clip and precipitating the occupants,
after executing one or two summersauits,
over the dashboard and wheels to the hard
ground. Mr.. VIM. T. Graves. one of our
jurymen, who was in the buggy with Mr.
Buckler, after performing two or three ac-
robatic evolutions, alighted, and not very
! gracefully either, upon his head. After sew
eral attempts TO upright himself he sue
ceeded in crawling to stump by the side
Of the road and with great effort seated
/ himself upon it, all the time persis,ing that
! his neck was broken. Ii was sometime be-
fore he would believe the assertions Of his
| friends that such was not the case that
his neck was not broken, only a little
/ cracked. \ little later he took seat in
another buggy, and with another frien!
/ proceeded on his way home. | have
/ been told that he was on duty the next
I day and congratulate him that he escaped
with 50 slight an injury. Mr. Buckler sus-
tanned no injury whatever. Alter making
one or two revolutions, he alighted, like a
cat on all fours. There was no damage
done 10 the buggy except the breaking al
/ the tug clips and none to the horses. They
were very gentle and stopped Immediately
when they found themselves detached from
the vehicle. BY strapping the tongue q
the buggy, Mr. Buckler drove on TO Mr.
Fawce;ts shop where the little damage was
soon repaired and he then proceeded on his
I way home
